Показать описание

Manon Mullener ''XCHEL'' (Recorded in New York City, Engine Room Audio, 2024)

Manon Mullener is one of Europe's promising young jazz musicians. She weaves her notes between jazz, Latin music and the melodies of her native Switzerland. Her compositions are like travel diaries, blending the echoes of stages all over the world, from New York to Havana, via European festivals. Her playing, both intimate and vibrant, invites you on a sensory voyage, an immersion in a universe where every note tells a story.

With Xchel, Manon Mullener invites us to dive into the heart of Maya culture, a civilization that has endured history with extraordinary resilience. Inspired by a profound encounter with a Maya elder, Exaltación Noh, in the Yucatán, Manon creates a vibrant, spiritual ode where every note reflects the timeless strength and wisdom of this people. This deeply evocative piece blends rhythmic power and melodic intensity to convey centuries of resistance and sacred connection to nature. Xchel is part of Stories, Manon's upcoming album set for release in March 2025, where each composition is inspired by a personal encounter or testimony that moved her, transcribed into music. Together, these pieces form a musical journey celebrating the universal beauty of human stories.
